TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERNE Y Be it known vthat I, JOHN BROSIUS, of Rauch's Gap, in the county of Clinton, and inthe Stateof Pennsylvania, have invented an Improved Safety-Attachment for watches, pocket-books, &c.; and do hereby declare that the following is a. full, clear, and exact description thereof,-reference being-had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, `irr---which the safety-attachment is shown as attached to a portemonnaie.

rIhis improvement is designedto furnish protection to porte-monnaies, watches, 8m., when carried about the person, by fastening them to the clothing so fas to prevent removal without the owners knowledge.

A and B represent jaws, hinged together Aat C, and provided with sharp pjns at D They are held together by a spring, E, which may be oi rubber, steel, or any material used for such purposes, and opened by pressing upon the levers F and' G, assuming the position 'shown by ther-ed lines. The lever G is hinged to allow of being closed when' not needed, thereby occupying less space, and the porte-monnaie or other valuable is con'- nected to the lever F by means of a chain, I-I. i

Y'Io use this improvement when attached to the portlmonnaie, Sie., itis placed inthe pocket, and opened by pressing upon the levers F and G, pressedagainst the pocket and released, by which means the pins Dare `fastenedsecurely in the cloth, after which the lever G is closed., The pins are instantly released by pressing upon the levers. j

This improvement provides arsimple, cheap, and reliable protection to valuables carried about theperson, from which they cannot be removed without the knowledge of the owner, although instantly detached'by-him when desired. y

What I claimas my invention, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, is-

The safety-attachment, composed of the jaws A and B, pins D, spring E,'levers Fand G, and chain H, for thc purpose :1nd substantially as herein specified'.

In testimony that I claim the foregoiug,I have hereunto set my hand, this 28th dey of February, 1868.
